Chapter 21 ~ Who is it going to be?

Dahlia groaned in pain as she slowly regained consciousness. She felt a dull, splitting ache at the back of her skull and a metallic taste in her mouth. “What….where…am…I?” She stuttered as her eyelids fluttered and by the smell of rust and dump concrete. She knew it wasn't in the comfort of her home. She tried to move but suddenly felt her wrists and legs burn from being bound by a rope, making moving close to impossible. Dahlia panicked as she tried again, all the drowsiness moving from her eyes only to find that her arms were pulled tightly behind her, bound to the back of a wooden chair. Her ankles were tied to its legs, making the coarse fibers dig into her skin every time she struggled.Her head throbbed viciously as the memory of where she was slammed back into place.Her breathing quickened as fear gripped her like a vice. Her heart was in her throat as she tried to move only to be stopped by a laughing sound,“Ah ah….I wouldn't do that if I were you, sweetheart!” Dahlia w

Chapter 22 ~ My fault

Silas looked at the two men and felt his anger rise. No one had ever challenged him before and lived. No one. “Do you know who the fuck I am?” He growled. His deep voice low and cold, making the men share looks. “Silas. Please don't be angry or we might all be in danger.” Joyce pleaded while glaring at the men who looked like they were about to pee their pants. ‘Useless fools! How can they be so easily intimidated?’ Joyce fumed.“You may be the most powerful man in the country but we call the shots here. So cooperate and you get to save one woman!” One of the men sneered, trying to sound threatening. “Well you'll find out what exactly I'm capable of in whatever room I'm in.” He growled, taking a menacing approach towards them. The four men exchanged looks. They were tall and good fighters but hitting a man like Silas wasn't something they signed up for. The consequences were too high for them to bear. Seeing her plan almost falling apart, Joyce cried out, “Silas… please,” she ch

Chapter 23 ~ Accused

The explosion ripped through the warehouse like a furious wave of fire.Glass shattered outwardly, metal flew all around, and the ground trembled beneath their feet.Silas Scott turned instinctively, the blast wave slamming into his back. Dust and heat surged past him, and for a split second, no one breathed until Anna screamed.Owen felt his knees buckle as he stared at the collapsing structure while smoke billowed into the sky. He rushed to his wife's side and held her protectively in his arms. Silas didn’t hesitate as he tore free from Joyce’s grip so abruptly she stumbled.“Silas!” she cried, but he was already running.He didn't care if she was behind the attack or had planned it because she was jealous. All he wanted was for her to be safe and sound. But looking at the condition of the warehouse, that didn't look possible, and it tore him to shreds. He felt his heart squeeze in his chest, but he pushed forward.The warehouse entrance was a wreck, with flames licking at its edges

Chapter 24 ~ I don't want it

How could they not even care or try to ask her what happened. How could they believe anything Joyce spat out without a hint of doubt. They had no idea how much she had to bleed to just cut the ropes. They dug into her skin, but she pushed on and managed to hide behind a concrete door just when the bomb went off. But even that wasn't enough to keep her safe seeing how much pain she was in.Dahlia was an artist. Her hands were precious, and now she had no idea if she would be able to paint ever again. Silas stepped forward and shielded her, then said,“She’s bleeding,” he looked at his father, “I need to rush her to the hospital.”Joyce couldn't believe what she was seeing. This was not how she foresaw the turnout, and seeing Silas protect Dahlia made her even more angry. She ground her teeth as she watched Silas bend over and lift Dahlia.He carried her easily despite the way she stiffened in his arms, but this time, she didn’t fight him. Not because she forgave him but because her bo

Chapter 25 ~ Influence has a limit

“Haha! Mrs. Scott, that's a funny joke.” The doctor chuckled nervously because to him, it was impossible for a woman married to such a powerful man to request an abortion when a child would secure her place. If anything, many women who were married to billionaires were desperate to get pregnant. So, how could she be serious about this? It must have been a joke. “I'm not joking, Doctor. I'm very serious right now.” Dahlia responded, making the doctor blink in fear. Silas, who was happy and excited a few seconds ago, changed his mood as he stepped closer. Just the change in his aura was enough to send the doctor running for the hills. “I'll ….I'll…excuse you for a moment.”The door shut behind the doctor as he rushed out of the room, leaving the couple on their own. Once the door was shut, what followed was a haunting silence. For a moment, neither of the two moved. All they did was stare at each other as if trying to unmask hidden layers inside each other's souls. Silas inhaled hea

Chapter 26 ~ Are you sure?

“Dahlia, this is a big decision. Are you sure about it?” Ava asked as she and Lena watched her carefully. After doctors had stabilized her and Silas left, the two women walked in and found her discussing the possibility of abortion. “Yes I'm sure. How can I have a child with a man I'm about to leave? When we divorce, I don't want any ties to him at all! This wasn't supposed to happen. I wasn't supposed to get pregnant.” Dahlia said, feeling so emotional and helpless in this situation. Lena leaned forward and held her sister's hand, her eyes softening as she gave her a small smile, “It was going to happen because you loved him. It's just unfortunate that it had to happen during this time. But D, this child is not only a symbol of the bad marriage you had. It's also a symbol of the love that you shared. If you still don't wanna have it, I support you 100%. But I don't want you to do it out of spite and regret it later. Do it because that's what you truly want.”The words Lena spoke pi

Chapter 27 ~ The old woman

Dahlia smiled politely, thinking the old woman was mistaken. She turned to the assistant who looked equally shocked. “Doesn't she look… just like her! "” the elderly woman repeated, clutching her secretary’s arm as if the floor had tilted beneath her feet.“Like who ma'am? Maybe you're mistaken.” The assistant responded cautiously, but that only angered the older woman even more. “You think just because I'm old, then suddenly I'm stupid? How can I fail to recognize a face I know so well? Maybe you're the one without a brain between the two of us.” She spat angrily. The assistant knew her boss very well and how much of a temper she had. Seeing that everyone might misunderstand, she stepped forward and smiled, “She isn't mean. She just has a way with words. I apologize on her behalf. Please go ahead.” The assistant moved aside to create space, but the older woman was adamant about knowing Dahlia. She held her wrist and stopped her, making Dahlia face her with a smile, “Hi granny, d

Chapter 28 ~ Perfectly fine

“Of course I am. What kind of stupid question is that? Don't I give you everything you could ever dream of?” Silas responded, his tone showing how irritated he was. Dahlia laughed, “So to you, being a good husband is basically throwing money around?”Silas watched her from his side before focusing on the road once again, “Isn't that why you married me? You had no problem spending my money and being happy doing so. What is it that you want now?” Dahlia was taken aback. She couldn't believe that's all he thought she was. A gold digger who didn't care about anything else other than money. Seeing the hurt look on her face, Silas drove the car to the side road and parked it, then turned to face her, “Look, babe. I don't want to fight anymore. Let's just start over and be happy. Let's keep the baby so we can start our own family.”Dahlia watched him, and whenever he spoke, it sounded like noise in her ears. It was too late to start over, too late to have their family and too crowded to be

Chapter 29 ~ Start over

Silas stood frozen between two worlds while his mother trembled with rage.“Don't tell me you're going to tolerate this!” She spat angrily, “Do you see what I've always said? You two spoil her too much now you're creating a monster!”“It's okay, Auntie. Maybe my existence caused Dahlia pain, so she hates me. But I'm okay with her hitting me if that makes her feel better. Please don't be mad at her.” Joyce pleaded in real tears from the sting on her hands, knees, and cheek. Dahlia watched her and laughed internally. She knew that pleading and trying to compete with Joyce only made her look worse. So she would be a real villain and make her life hell in real time. That way, they would be a happy family when she left. “Owen, don't just stand there! Do something!” Anna demanded, but her husband simply shook his head. “This is Silas’s home. He has to handle it.”Silas took a deep breath and ran a frustrated hand through his hair. He assumed Dahlia did all that to punish him for not picki

Chapter 30 ~ Impatient like her

‘Even before Joyce?’ Dahlia scoffed internally. Even he didn't mention her because he knew Joyce was always the first in his life. The one he truly loved. The irony of his words made her smile, but Silas took that as her acceptance. The smile seemed to relieve him more than anything else had that day.He reached for her hand carefully, mindful of the bandages, and said,“I’m serious, Dahlia. We’ll rebuild our marriage. Our child will be happy.”Our child? Dahlia laughed internally. There was no way she would let Silas anywhere near the child. By the time she gave birth, she would be long gone. ‘Knowing I left him and took the child would drive him crazy is something I'm not sure of.’ Dahlia thought. Maybe his ego would be bruised and his reputation tainted. That was enough for her because she knew how much Silas loved control.She was about to speak when the vibration of a phone cut her off. Silas frowned at the interruption but still pulled out his phone.He slid right to answe
